We made mistake to concede against Nigeria — Renard

Zambia coach Herve Renard, has said that he and his boys were prepared to secure victory in their game against Nigeria yesterday.

The French coach, who admitted that his boys made a huge mistake to have conceded against Nigeria, commended his boys for their fighting spirit to secured the equaliser. “We prepared well for the game. Nigeria is not a push over and we have to fight back when we conceded a goal. We made a mistake when we conceded that goal. You don’t have to make such mistake when you are playing in such a bad pitch like that. It was a good come back against a team like Nigeria,” he said.

Meanwhile, Zambia goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene said they were alaways prepared for penalty. “during the training the coach alaways asked us who among of us that can take the spot kich.

“Actually it is two of us and the second player had been removed which means i was the only player remainning on the pitch to take the spot. it was not easy concedering the fact that i have to come back from my post to came and take the kick. But it is something i have prepared for,” he said.
